In Tokyo there are always too many people in the places where I want to be. Of course there are too many cars. The Japanese drive very fast, but in Tokyo they often spend a long time in traffic jams. Tokyo is not different from London, Paris and New York in that. It is different when one wants to walk.At certain times of the day there are a lot of people on foot in Londons Oxford Street. But the streets near Ginze in Tokyo always have a lot of people on foot, and sometimes it is really difficult to walk. People are very polite; there are just too many of them.The worst time to be in the street is at 11：30 pm. That is when the nightclubs are closing and everybody wants to go home. There are 35,000 nightclubs in Tokyo, and you do not often see one that is empty.During the day, most people travel to and from work by train. People in Tokyo buy six million train tickets every day. At most stations, trains arrive every two or three minutes, but at certain hours there do not seem to be enough trains. Although they are usually crowded, Japanese trains are very good. They always leave and arrive on time. On a London train you would see everybody reading a newspaper. On Tokyo trains everybody in the seat seems to be asleep, whether his journey is long or short.In Tokyo, I stood outside the station for five minutes. Three fire engines(消防车) raced to one of many fires that Tokyo has every day. Tokyo has so many surprises that none of them can really surprise me now.36Tokyo is different from London in that _.Ait has a larger populationBthere are more traffic jamsCit is more difficult to go somewhere on footDnightclubs are sometimes empty答案C推理判断题。由第三段可知在东京步行比在伦敦步行要难一些。37Japanese trains _.Aoften leave and arrive on timeBare often crowdedCare the main means people use to travel to and from workDall of the above答案D细节理解题。第五段详细介绍了东京火车的情况，其中包含了A、B、C三项的内容。38Where can you find everybody reading a newspaper?AAt most London train stations.BAt most Tokyo train stations.COn a Tokyo train.DOn a London train.答案D细节理解题。根据第五段中的“On a London train you would see everybody reading a newspaper.”可知答案是D。39Fires break out _ in Tokyo according to the writer.Aquite frequently Bonly several times a dayCnot very often Dvery seldom答案A推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Three fire engines raced to one of many fires that Tokyo has every day.”可知东京的火灾很频繁。40Which of the following is NOT true about Tokyo?AThe streets become more crowded at 11：30 pm.BThere are more trains than cars.CFire engines are very busy in the city.DTokyo people are friendly.答案B细节理解题。A、C、D三项在文章中都能找到相应的依据；只有B项文中没有提及。BA fit and healthy teenage rugby player died 12 hours after taking treatment for acne (粉刺)，an officer，Mary Hassel，said today. She said Shaun Jones,14，died “as a result of complications (并发症)of medical treatment”Shaun，who was described by his mother as “vain” about his appearance，saw Dr Jones，his family doctor，about spots on his back and shoulders after learning his friends had been given medication to deal with similar problems.The boy，who had previously used Clearasil to treat the spots，was diagnosed with mild acne and given a prescription. But when he went to his local chemists with his mother，he was told the drug was not available. They said they had contacted Dr Jones (in fact they didnt)，and Shaun could be given different pills which were the same as the drug originally prescribed. Mrs. Jones noticed there were no safety instructions included in the box，but thought nothing of it at the time.Shaun took the drug just before going to bed at 10：30 pm. Little more than an hour later，he complained of shortness of breath and tightness in his chest. Mrs. Jones initially contacted an out of hours GP service but was told no doctor was available. When Shauns condition became worse，he was rushed to the Royal Glamorgan Hospital by ambulance in the early hours of the next morning.Despite treatment there，and at the University Hospital of Wales，Cardiff，where he was transferred，Shaun died at 10：40 am the following day. Doctors at the hospital believe an unusual reaction to the acne drug could have caused his death.Hassel said she would write a report to the Lord Chancellors office underlining the importance that “doctors prescribe drugs and doctors make adjustments and patients receive drugs with the correct information attached”41Shaun Jones decided to take the treatment for acne because _.Ahe thought he was fit and healthyBhis friends advised him to take itChis mother gave him the suggestionDhe wanted to improve his appearance答案D细节理解题。由常识并结合第二段的“Shaun，who was described by his mother as vain about his appearance”可以看出，主人公治疗粉刺只是为了改善自己的外貌。42Which of the following is true of the drug Shaun took?AIt was previously named Clearasil.BIt was not the one in the prescription.CIt should not be taken before going to bed.DIt was forbidden for people at Shauns age.答案B推理判断题。根据第三段对取药的描述可以看出，他所用的药不是医生所开的处方上的，是药剂师换的其他的药品。43We can learn from Paragraph 4 that _.AShaun began to feel uncomfortable at 11：00 pm.BShauns parents called their family doctor at firstCMs. Jones called an out of hours GP service at firstDShauns parents drove him to Royal Glamorgan Hospital答案C细节理解题。由第四段中“Mrs. Jones initially contacted an out of hours GP service but was told no doctor was available.”可知答案。44The reason why Shaun was transferred to the University Hospital of Wales was that _.Athere were no doctors available at his local hospitalBhis family doctor suggested he be transferred thereChe was expected to get better treatment at the hospitalDthe doctors in Royal Glamorgan Hospital were too busy 答案C推理判断题。由第四段中“When Shauns condition became worse，he was rushed to the Royal Glamorgan Hospital by ambulance in the early hours of the next morning.”结合常识可以看出，病人的病情加剧，转院的目的是为了获得更好的治疗。45It can be inferred from the passage that Mary Hassel _.Awould report the event to the Lord Chancellors officeBcould help more people become more careful about drugsCwould tell people the importance of correct prescriptionDcould help more patients attach correct information to drugs答案B推理判断题。由最后一段Mary Hassel所说的话，可以看出，这次事故能引起人们对药品进一步重视：包括对处方药以及医生处方的调整等。CFor generations of pupils，learning key historical dates，places，and names off by heart has been the base of academic success. But for todays youngsters，dull rote learning(死记硬背)is meaningless because such basic facts are only a mouse click via Google，Wikipedia and online libraries，according to writer Don Tapscott.Tapscott，author of the bestselling book Wikinomics and a supporter of the “net generation”，suggests a better approach would be to teach children to think creatively so they could learn to understand and use the knowledge available online.He said，“Teachers are no longer the fountain(源泉)of knowledge；the Internet is. Kids should learn about history to understand the world and why things are the way they are. But they dont need to know all the dates.”Tapscott dismissed (摒弃) the idea that his approach is antilearning. Instead, he argued that the ability to learn new things is more important than ever in a world where you have to process new information at lightning speed. And he believes that the oldfashioned model of education still common in todays schools, involving having_facts_off_pat，was designed for the industrial age. He said, “This might have been good for the mass production economy，but it isnt suitable for the digital economy，or for the net generation mind. Children are going to have to reinvent their knowledge base many times. So for them memorizing facts and figures is a waste of time.”Tapscott added the brains of todays youngsters work differently to their parents，and that multitasking with digital equipment，such as using the Internet while listening to their MP3 players，can help them to develop critical thinking skills.Schools are increasingly introducing more independent study and activities，with pupils learning at their own pace and focusing on what interests them most.46What is important for the “net generation” in Tapscotts opinion?AUsing online knowledge creatively.BMemorizing facts and figures.CLearning to respect teachers.DTeaching their parents to think creatively.答案A判断题。结合第二段的a better approach would be to teach children to think creatively可知他们需要创造性地思考问题，所以选A。47The underlined part “having facts off pat” in Para.4 probably means _.Aunderstanding online informationBremembering facts clearlyCmastering digital equipmentDkeeping mistakes in mind答案B推理判断题。根据第一段中的For generations of pupils，learning key historical dates，places，and names off by heart has been the base of academic success和划线部分的前一句And he believes that the oldfashioned model of education still common in todays schools可知这里说的是传统的学习方法，所以选B。48According to Tapscott, _.Ato obtain new information is important for kidsBlearning history is of no use to kidsCteachers should learn more things from online librariesDkids should not listen to MP3 players while using the Internet答案A推理判断题。根据第四段前两句可知，Tapscott认为处理新信息的能力比记忆一些历史事件的日期更重要。49From the passage we can infer that in the digital economy _.Ahistory wont be taught in schoolsBthere is no need for teachers to exist at allCyoungsters brains work similarly to their parentsDstudents can learn a lot as long as they want to答案D推理判断题。由文章第一段可知现在的学生通过Google、网络图书馆等可以学到很多东西，所以选D。50What would be the best title of the passage?AWhy should the students learn creatively?BThe general understanding of “net generation”CLearning by heart is “pointless for Google generation”DWhats the difference between todays youngsters and their parents?答案C标题归纳题。本文主要介绍在网络时代，青少年已经不需要死记硬背，他们可以从网上获取知识，更重要的是他们能创造性地利用知识。故C选项最合适。DA team of British engineers will announce a plan for the worlds first 1,000 mph car，a pencilshaped vehicle designed not to break the world land speed record but to shatter it.The 12,000,000 car，known as Bloodhound SSC，is to be announced today by Paul Drayson，the science minister for the UK government. It would be able to reach 1,050 mph，traveling faster than a speeding bullet. The Bloodhound team plans to have the car built within a year，with the record attempt expected in three years.The project brings together fighter pilot Andy Green，who set the current land speed record of 763 mph with Thrust SSC in 1997，and Richard Noble，who directed that attempt.The car will be the first to combine a jet engine(喷气发动机)for a Eurofighter Typhoon with a rocket booster(火箭助推器)The task of driving the vehicle will fall on Andy Green,46.He will use an accelerator(加速器)to power the jet engine up to speeds of around 350 mph and then fire the solid rocket booster. At that point，a V12 racing car engine will start pumping more than a ton of hydrogen peroxide(过氧化氢)into the booster，forcing the car to 1,000 mph in 20 seconds.Team members are now visiting sites where the record attempt will be made. The current record was set at Black Rock Desert in Nevada，US. But that is impossible now as ground conditions there have become worse since 1997.In the next week or two，Green will visit a site in South Africa. Other possible places are the salt flats of the US and Australia. John Piper，the lead engineer on the project，said the team would get started next month.The plan was put forward by Drayson，a racing car enthusiast，as a project to inspire a new generation of scientists and engineers，who are in desperately short supply in the UK. “We dont have enough young people taking science and maths. These are difficult subjects and we have to give the youth a clear reason for studying them，”said Drayson.51The underlined word “shatter” in Paragraph 1 can be replaced by“ _”Akeep Bset Creach Ddestroy答案D词义猜测题。根据文中的意思，英国工程师将建造一辆速度比子弹还快的汽车，这不仅是要打破世界地面速度记录而且是彻底粉碎这个记录，故D正确。52Which of the following is true of Bloodhound SSC?AIt will be put on the market in three years.BIt can accelerate from 350 mph to 1,050 mph in 12 second
